Do A Mighty Work, Lord

Do a mighty work in me, Lord, so you can do a mighty work through me. I will never forget falling to my knees and praying that very prayer. I’ll be honest. My pride prevented me from seeing how much work God needed to do in me before He could work through me. I was at the […]

2024: It’s All About Me

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!     Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. Psalm 139:14 You may be thinking my title is awfully self-centered. To think an entire year is all about me sounds so contrary to the message of the Bible. However, that’s my focus for 2024. Before you shut me […]

To New Beginnings

“Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 A new year is upon us. Let’s be honest: I […]

Extraordinary Acts of God

“Extraordinary acts of God often begin with ordinary acts of obedience.” Craig Groeschel Have you ever sensed God telling you to do something that in the human realm simply doesn’t make sense? A few months ago, my daughter called me late one night. She had just returned to college where she had a ton of […]

Slow Down!

“Slow down!!” It wasn’t an audible voice. If it had been, I probably wouldn’t have heard it. Why? Because I’ve been too busy. Too busy to hear God. Too busy to take care of myself. Too busy to enjoy life. Too busy just trying to keep all the plates spinning. It’s been a hard few […]

Give Thanks

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances.  Have you ever really thought about that command? Be thankful in all circumstances. Not some. Not most. But all circumstances. I know last week was Thanksgiving here in the United States, but if […]

Does God Still Do Miracles?

Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see […]

Wake Up and Live!

My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. John 10:10 This week, I was listening to a sermon on the anointing of God. The preacher, Dick Foth, mentioned he used to have a radio show in which he used the tagline, “It’s time to wake up and live!” That simple phrase completely […]

Finding the Abundant Life

I’ve written over the past few weeks about peace. The Peace Index. His Perfect Peace. My peace being robbed from me. It’s been a very introspective period of my life as I’ve begun to look at who I am, who I want to be, where I am succeeding and where I am failing. I’ve been […]

A Crisis of Faith

Have you ever had a crisis of faith? If you don’t know what I am talking about, it’s a phrase I learned from Henry Blackaby’s Experiencing God. If you have never done this Bible study, I highly recommend it! Christians experience a crisis of faith when they sense God telling them to do something and they […]
